Journal
of the House - 80th Day - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - Top of Page 8088

(a) Upon application for a multistate
license, the licensing board in the issuing party state shall ascertain, through
the coordinated licensure information system, whether the applicant has ever

are any encumbrances on any license or multistate licensure privilege held by
the applicant, whether any adverse action has been taken against any license or
multistate licensure privilege held by the applicant, and whether the applicant
is currently participating in an alternative program.

(b) A nurse may hold a multistate
license, issued by the home state, in only one party state at a time.

home state will be deactivated in accordance with applicable rules adopted by
the commission:

(1) the nurse may apply for licensure
in advance of a change in primary state of residence; and

(2) a multistate license shall not be
issued by the new home state until the nurse provides satisfactory evidence of

applicable requirements to obtain a multistate license from the new home state.

residence by moving from a party state to a nonparty state, the multistate

ARTICLE
IV

ADDITIONAL
AUTHORITIES INVESTED IN PARTY STATE LICENSING BOARDS

(a) In addition to the other powers
conferred by state law, a licensing board shall have the authority to:

Journal
of the House - 80th Day - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - Top of Page 8090

(1)
take adverse action against a nurse's multistate licensure privilege to
practice within that party state:

(i) only the home state shall have the
power to take adverse action against a nurse's license issued by the home
state; and

(ii) for purposes of taking adverse
action, the home state licensing board shall give the same priority and effect
to reported conduct received from a remote state as it would if such conduct
occurred within the home state.In so
doing, the home state shall apply its own state laws to determine appropriate
action;

(2) issue cease and desist orders or
impose an encumbrance on a nurse's authority to practice within that party state;

(3) complete any pending investigations
of a nurse who changes primary state of residence during the course of such
investigations.The licensing board
shall also have the authority to take appropriate action(s) and shall promptly
report the conclusions of such investigations to the administrator of the
coordinated licensure information system.The administrator of the coordinated licensure information system shall
promptly notify the new home state of any such actions;

(4) issue subpoenas for both hearings
and investigations that require the attendance and testimony of witnesses, as
well as the production of evidence.Subpoenas
issued by a licensing board in a party state for the attendance and testimony
of witnesses or the production of evidence from another party state shall be
enforced in the latter state by any court of competent jurisdiction, according
to the practice and procedure of that court applicable to subpoenas issued in
proceedings pending before it.The
issuing authority shall pay any witness fees, travel expenses, mileage, and
other fees required by the service statutes of the state in which the witnesses
or evidence are located;

(5) obtain and submit, for each nurse
licensure applicant, fingerprint, or other biometric-based information to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation for criminal background checks, receive the
results of the Federal Bureau of Investigation record search on criminal
background checks, and use the results in making licensure decisions;

(6) if otherwise permitted by state law,
recover from the affected nurse the costs of investigations and disposition of
cases resulting from any adverse action taken against that nurse; and

(7) take adverse action based on the
factual findings of the remote state, provided that the licensing board follows
its own procedures for taking such adverse action.

(b) If adverse action is taken by the
home state against a nurse's multistate license, the nurse's multistate
licensure privilege to practice in all other party states shall be deactivated
until all encumbrances have been removed from the multistate license.All home state disciplinary orders that
impose adverse action against a nurse's multistate license shall include a
statement that the nurse's multistate licensure privilege is deactivated in all
party states during the pendency of the order.

(c) Nothing in this compact shall
override a party state's decision that participation in an alternative program
may be used in lieu of adverse action.The
home state licensing board shall deactivate the multistate licensure privilege
under the multistate license of any nurse for the duration of the nurse's
participation in an alternative program.

ARTICLE
V

COORDINATED
LICENSURE INFORMATION SYSTEM AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

(a) All party states shall participate
in a coordinated licensure information system of all licensed registered nurses
(RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs).This system will include information on the
licensure and disciplinary history of each nurse, as submitted by party states,
to assist in the coordination of nurse licensure and enforcement efforts.

Journal

licensure information system, shall formulate necessary and proper procedures
for the identification, collection, and exchange of information under this
compact.

(c) All licensing boards shall promptly
report to the coordinated licensure information system any adverse action, any
current significant investigative information, denials of applications,
including the reasons for such denials, and nurse participation in alternative
programs known to the licensing board, regardless of whether such participation
is deemed nonpublic or confidential under state law.

(d) Current significant investigative
information and participation in nonpublic or confidential alternative programs
shall be transmitted through the coordinated licensure information system only
to party state licensing boards.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, all party state licensing boards contributing information to the
coordinated licensure information system may designate information that may not
be shared with nonparty states or disclosed to other entities or individuals
without the express permission of the contributing state.

(f) Any personally identifiable
information obtained from the coordinated licensure information system by a
party state licensing board shall not be shared with nonparty states or
disclosed to other entities or individuals except to the extent permitted by
the laws of the party state contributing the information.

(g) Any information contributed to the
coordinated licensure information system that is subsequently required to be
expunged by the laws of the party state contributing that information shall
also be expunged from the coordinated licensure information system.

(h) The compact administrator of each
party state shall furnish a uniform data set to the compact administrator of
each other party state, which shall include, at a minimum:

(1) identifying information;

(2) licensure data;
